While crabbing from the beach, take the opportunity to swim or explore Capers Island. The adventure culminates in a crab boil, featuring fresh steamed crabs sourced from our local crabber that morning, served with butter and Old Bay seasoning! This is a wonderful experience for the entire family! Although we practice catch and release, we bring plenty of crabs and ice-cold watermelon to ensure everyone has enough to eat! Enjoy fresh steamed crabs on a pristine barrier island beach!
This activity is available only from Memorial Day to Labor Day.
